I've read that Samsung and Apple smartwatches are better than Garmin at detecting cardiac issues tho.

Problem with the smarter fitness watches is battery life. My Fenix can go about 2 weeks with running 4 days a week. I do t want to have to manage charging my watch so often it's a pain to capture my life. (Sleeping, steeps, activities)

TBF I'm rocking a 30€ smartband connected to GadgetBridge lol

It gets ~1week battery life regardless of activity tracking

A week isn't bad. I just use mine to track a lot if activities, even sailing. So hours of GPS tracking. I'm really happy with my Garmin.
